Under seat vibration

Just returned from Florida. Have had off and on rumble strip vibration under my seat. It is a 2004 Mountain Aire with workhorse chassis. I purchased the MH in August. Have asked dealer to check since then. They checked it before my trip and replace carrier bearing. They said it wasn't vibrating anymore. I drove to Florida and same vibration under seat. It isn't all the time, it comes and goes. Like a rumble steip. They put new tires on every before I bought it. Thinking about getting centramatic wheel balances to see if that fixes it. Any other ideas?

They said they used a road force balance.

Here is a less expensive option you might look at. I have used these since my new boots were installed about 20,000 miles ago. Smooooth as a Baby's Bottom.

Your wheel balance isn't going to come and go. It will show up at paticular speeds but that will be repeatable.

My " left field " guess is a sticking caliper. On the occasion it sticks, the brakes get hot and give the rumble of an overheated rotor.

The rumble may push the caliper back away from the rotor.

Right after it rumbles, pull over and see if one side brake is hotter then the other.

I said it was a guess.

You might want to check for burnt plug wires. That is what I found when I had the same symptoms. For some reason I noticed it under the seat like a vibration. Sounds far out I know but worth a check.
